Einstein is one of the most well known and venerated scientist of the 20th century. Einstein has been responsible for creating many scientific theories. His most
notable are the discovery of general relativity and special relativity
which later lead to the discovery of the world famous e=mc2 equation.
Through my research I have conducted I was very surprised to learn that
Einstein had a slow start in life. He showed very little progress compared to most children his age and could barely speak until the age of 3, and still spoke poorly at the age of 9. He showed little to no motivation
in school and didn’t excel. Its hard to believe someone with his
intellect didn’t always excel academically. However, as resistant he was
to most subjects he always had an interest in philosophy and science.
It was a struggle but he did end up graduating. After he graduated he
had a lot of temp jobs and had difficulty landing a job in his field. He
then began writing papers for science programs, the first two were
unsuccessfully submitted. He didn’t let the rejection stop him! He
finally had a break through in the year 1905 also known as his ‘ wonder
year’ and his first paper Electrodynamics
of moving bodies on his theory of relativity. This paper was the start
to a long successful journey in the scientific world. Einstein received
numerous awards in his lifetime he received the noble peace prize in
physics in 1921. Einstein proposal were initially rejected. He
preserved and kept working on his theories. I admire not only his
intelligence but his determination to succeed and have his voice heard
on the scientific front.
